“It’s crazy when you look up to someone, especially such as The Rock, and then you meet him, it’s like, What do you do? You spend all of your life preparing the sentences that you’re going to say and it’s none of that, none of that comes out,” Khalid said.

He then recalled their meeting, saying, “It was genuine and it was awesome. He gave me a lot of inspiration. I feel like he’s an amazing role model so it’s super cool to meet someone like The Rock.”

Seeing the interview on Twitter, Johnson responded, revealing that by “crazy fate” he had just listened to Khalid’s whole album just before they met.

😂 My boy @thegreatkhalid’s the best. He totally kept his composure when we met, especially after I told him I literally listened to his entire album earlier that afternoon and had no idea we were gonna meet that night. True story. Crazy fate. 👊🏾 https://t.co/4MM0Hlf4CG
